Giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum).

The trees are knitted in the round and that is why the pattern is recommended for Advanced Beginner Knitters.

The finished: Big Sequoia is approximately 16,14 inches (41 cm)
Medium Sequoia is approximately 13 inches (33 cm) tall.
Small Sequoia is approximately 12,6 inches (32 cm) tall.

All trees are knitted by the same pattern. But I used different yarn and needles sizes.
Also I want to say that this pattern is perfect for your imagination. You do not have to fully follow my description. You can change the quantity of the rows. Make differen quantity branches and Fir-needles. For Fir-needles you can use any colors and shades of green color at the same branch also. You can make more or less quantity Coniferous branches. You can make them thinner or thicker, shorter or longer… Everything you want!!! Do not be afraid to experiment!
All rows are worked in the round, this helps avoid ugly seams.
